Free DMV Written Test Simulator for Texas | Updated for 2025
If you live in Texas, you already know it’s big, with an area of 268,596 square miles. If Texas were a country, it would be the 40th largest country on earth, larger than any European country. The state operates the largest highway and rail networks in the country. But to use all those highways to get around the state on your own, you’ll need to obtain a Texas driver’s license.
In Texas, if you’re under 18, you must obtain an instruction permit (learner license) before applying for a driver’s license. The permit will allow you to practice driving under supervision. To obtain a permit in Texas, you must meet a whole series of requirements. One of the most crucial requirements is to pass a written knowledge exam on driving theory. (However, this exam may be waived if you’ve completed an approved driver education course.)
If you’re 18 or older, you must also pass the knowledge exam, but you won’t apply for a permit. Instead, you’ll apply directly for a driver’s license. However, the license will initially have the same restrictions as the instructional permit (learner license) issued to teen drivers.
The Texas DMV written test has 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official driver’s manual (Texas DMV Handbook (TX Driver's Manual) 2025). The passing score is 70%.
This is our second of five Texas Permit Practice Tests. All our permit practice tests have been designed to help aspiring drivers like you pass the DMV knowledge test on their first try. These practice tests are up to date as of February {current year} and also based on the official Texas driver’s manual. All 40 questions on this practice test are multiple choice. You must choose the best or most complete answer for each question.
Feel free to ask our AI Assistant for help if you get stuck on a question. You can ask it to give you a hint or discuss the question in more depth. If you still miss the question, the AI Assistant will provide you with the correct answer and an explanation. Watch the Progress Bar to keep track of your score. Each question you answer correctly will turn green, and each question you get wrong will turn red.
We also have our own Texas DMV Permit Test Study Guide, which we recommend you download and read as the written knowledge exam day approaches. It will give you useful tips to help you avoid any unpleasant surprises. It covers what documents to take with you to the test, fees you may have to pay, how to stay relaxed yet alert for the test, and frequently missed test questions.
